Demolition Squad Pokie Machine
Anyone who likes the thought of cartoon characters blowing stuff up is going to enjoy the Demolition Squad video pokie from Net Ent, which has mayhem and destruction in abundance across the 5 reels and 40 paylines. Those gamblers who are not so keen on the concept could still find it’s worth a peek at the game, as there are special wild symbol features and a rewarding free spins bonus round for some potentially explosive payouts.
Anime-inspired symbols include the 5 members of the squad, all pulling silly faces, plus there’s a high-paying robot, the playing card symbols that fill the lower end of the pay table, and a couple of warning signs that act to trigger the bonus features. All this plays out against a construction site background surrounded by scaffolding which helps to set the scene.
Most online casinos offer free Demolition Squad video pokies, which is useful because the minimum stake needed to get the reels spinning is 0.40, and that could be too much of a risk for some people to take on an untested game, while the high limit is set at 200.00 per spin. In the base game, 3 or more of the same symbol will need to land on adjacent reels running left to right on a payline, although the wilds will certainly help players get extra wins when they appear in the right places.

Playing Demolition Squad
When the 10 symbol, which like all other paying card icons looks like it’s been cast in concrete, lands across a line, players win 5, 15 or 60x the line bet equivalent. Going up in value, we have the J, Q and K, with the A returning 20, 60 or 150x when it stops on 3, 4 or 5 reels across a line. The slightly mad-looking cartoon characters are each worth more, and we see each of them holding the tools of their trade, such as an axe, cutting torch, pneumatic drill and a big hammer. The red-eyed robot is valued at 100, 400 or the top award of 4000x when landing on a line.
Two wild symbols can appear at any time, acting as any of the above if they can then complete winlines, or turn a run of winning symbols into a higher-value combination across an extra reel. The main wild will only appear on the middle 3 reels however, so isn’t worth anything on its own.
The basic wild is a yellow and black striped warning sign, but we also see special Demolition Wilds. If 2 of these appear, one of the squad will pop up in a short animation and then any symbols between these symbols will be transformed into extra wilds, either in a straight line, or across a diagonal. Although it won’t always create a winning set of symbols, more often than not it will.
Free Spins
Perhaps the highlight of the Demolition Squad online pokie is a very generous free spins round begins when the warning triangle scatter symbol appears in at least 3 places at once. 10 bonus games will commence when just 3 land, while 4 scatters are the trigger for 20 extra spins and anyone fortunate enough to see 5 turning up on the reels at one time will receive 50 free spins.
No matter how many are awarded, all winnings will be tripled in value throughout them, while any 3 or more scatters will see the bonus retriggered and any new spins added on to the end of the current round.
The Verdict
There are surprisingly few online casino pokies that look like this one, where the Anime style gives it a distinct appeal. The theme is pretty unique as well, making this Demolition Squad game something that’s going to appeal to anyone looking for a change from the normal styles and subject matters.
It’s an added bonus that the gameplay is up to the usual high Net Ent standard and that players will be able to reap the rewards when multiple wilds turn up, and especially when they are treated to a massive 50 free spins, complete with those valuable multipliers.
